The Stories Don’t Match
Georgie Hagopian of Armenia claimed that he saw the ark as a young boy. However, his story had quite a few inconsistencies. Each time he told his story he gave a different year, he’s said he’s seen the ark in 1902, 1906, 1908, and 1910.
Which is it? Hagopian has even claimed to have climbed on the roof of the ark with his uncle. Naturally, many find the story hard to believe.
Putting Their Brains Together
With so many inconsistencies in the story of Noah, it seems like we may never find out where the real ark landed after the flood. But it seems like there will always be enthusiasts out there willing to spend their time and resources until they found out.
The Geoscience Research Institute (GRI) put on a symposium on Mount Ararat to further the discussion. Over 100 scientists and researchers came together to combine their knowledge of the ark hoping to find an answer together.
And what About The Ice Age?
One of the most confusing conundrums about the biblical story is working out when exactly did it occur in the earth's timeline.
Considering that it supposedly happened around the time of the Ice Age. Could it be possible?
Before The Bible
Scholars are aware that the Bible is not the origin of the story of the flood.
Most believe that it came from Mesopotamia, which modern-day Iraq and Iran, where there are 9(!) known versions of a massive global flood that destroys everything.
The Famous Biblical Story
Regardless of all of the question marks about the story’s accuracy, it's one of the most notorious tales.
According to the story God was fed up with the wickedness and corruption of the people that he decided to destroy the world, only sparing Noah, his family, and some animal species.
